Heat signature. One of those stupidly hard to grasp games (but simple once you get into it) created by the same guy who did the indie stealth game gunpoint. Basically top down shooter that involves sneaking aboard enemy ships to do all forms of assassinations, takeovers, and sabotage. Main objective, liberate the galaxy. It is one of those games I love hoping into every once in a while to either do a few missions or fly around and either fuck up a ship or get fucked up and thrown out an airlock. Definitely a GOTY candidate.

Honestly, it would be fine for those with 25 + races maxed. But for those with less you are basically new players to level up a race with no experience or want towards it.
Now if you got like 1000 exp when being forced to a race you didn't have levels in that would probably mitigate the issue.

Honestly, I got bored for like the whole summer (and I had a couple psych classes). Now, I'm way too busy to really hop on any server for more then an hour. I have a feeling many people are even busier or possibly have grown into a university /fulltime job life.

Underplayed stuff like Curse of the Pharaoh certainly needs a buff. It is one of those, level-up and leave races. Though a lot of knife races seem like they need (besides that one) a slight-debuff particularly human lawnmower and flame predator (I say as those are my most used knife races).

I remember on a map in ze (think it was sky athletic) where there was an anti-bhop script put in that basically meant whenever you attempted to b-hop the map would force you downward which while it wouldn't hinder a jump, it would prevent the speed boost from a b-hop and make it difficult to see (due to what would look like a downward push on your screen). Perhaps that could be implemented into the server whenever someone has a hostage to prevent b-hopping.
